Functions

void apr_dynamic_fn_register (const char *szName, apr_opt_fn_t *pfn)
apr_opt_fn_tapr_dynamic_fn_retrieve (const char *szName)

Detailed Description

Typesafe registration and retrieval of functions that may not be present (i.e. functions exported by optional modules)

Define Documentation

#define APR_DECLARE_OPTIONAL_FN ( ret,
name,
args   )     typedef ret (APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name)) args

Declare an optional function.

Parameters:
ret The return type of the function
name The name of the function
args The function arguments (including brackets)

#define APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE ( name   )     apr_OFN_##name##_t

The type of an optional function.

Parameters:
name The name of the function

#define APR_REGISTER_OPTIONAL_FN ( name   ) 

Value:

do { \
  APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name) *apu__opt = name; \
  apr_dynamic_fn_register(#name,(apr_opt_fn_t *)apu__opt); \
} while (0)
Register an optional function. This can be later retrieved, type-safely, by name. Like all global functions, the name must be unique. Note that, confusingly but correctly, the function itself can be static!
Parameters:
name The name of the function

#define APR_RETRIEVE_OPTIONAL_FN ( name   )     (APR_OPTIONAL_FN_TYPE(name) *)apr_dynamic_fn_retrieve(#name)

Retrieve an optional function. Returns NULL if the function is not present.

Parameters:
name The name of the function
